Linkdex is an extremely powerful tool with cutting edge features that can be used to help manage your whole digital marketing campaigns and extract valuable insights and potential opportunities as well as providing the ability to identify and build relevant relationships. To get the most out of Linkdex, it’s very important to invest quite a lot of time setting up the campaigns properly. The tool does not come cheap, so it is designed to provide digital marketers with everything they need from a single platform. While it does provide a lot of great features, I believe that having a toolbox with many tools is something that we should all have, as different tools specialise in different areas, so relying on one tool to do everything isn’t a great idea. That being said, Linkdex does offer features that you won’t find in other tools, like the Entity Browser which can be used to find bloggers with authority and the relationships between them, allowing you to become a professional stalker to find relevant bloggers.

Pros :

Linkdex provides training to help you and your team/agency to get the most out of the tool, and also help you to set up your campaigns.

The content 360 crawler feature helps you to identify issues with your web pages as well as getting an overview of how many shares each page has had on some social channels.

The forecasting tool can help you to forecast the value that would be attributed to traffic based on improved rankings by position.

The rank tracking tool provides historical data for your chosen keywords, with nice graphs to show position changes side-by-side.

You can also tag sets of keywords, which can be useful when understanding the causes of peaks and troughs.

Cons :

If you don’t find the time to set your campaigns up properly, you will be paying top dollar for a glorified rank checker.

While Linkdex offers a lot more than the traditional SEO tools on the market, It's much more expensive, which means that you're unlikely to be able to justify using it unless you're a decent size agency looking for an all-in-one campaign management solution.

Conductor Searchlight is meant to replace several other tools: primarily, rank tracking and task management. It manages to do both effectively, once you fully learn the platform. However, like many platforms that try to do many different things, it can be confusing to use at first. However, they offer full training over multiple meetings with their packages, so that might not be too much of a problem for some users. Another issue with platforms that try to do multiple things, it sometimes results in a tool that is good, but not great, at all things. This seems to be the case with Conductor. Rank tracking, for example, doesn’t collect as much information as some other tools, and typically only collects the information that it does collect once a week. Some other rank tools do the same, but others will collect daily. The default setup for a domain only tracks 100 keywords, and increasing the amount can be very expensive. The charges are also per site, which is generally not a problem for agencies or single site companies, but can become problematic for smaller companies with multiple sites. On the task management side, it generally creates tasks through annotations on the findings. In my experience, it was somewhat difficult to get a full view of all of the tasks that were assigned. Some more training may have corrected that, though. I wasn’t able to attend all of the training sessions. However, if you want a platform in which you can look at a lot of pertinent data and assign tasks based on it right there on the spot, Conductor does that effectively. I would suggest getting a full tour before jumping into this one to make sure that you’ll be able to use the somewhat confusing platform.

Pros :

Cons :

- Expensive - Can be confusing, especially for new users - Doesn’t include as much information in the rank tracking as some other platforms, such as full SERP displays
